Unable To Align Roof Lines

[kyle.klouzal]

I have spent hours trying to get these two roof lines to come together with no avail so i'm turning to the forums for help. Please see the attached pictures.

I have two roof lines on this house which are perpendicular to each other. The main roof has only one slope and the secondary roof has two slopes. I'm trying to get top of the roof line of the main roof to line up with the top of the roof line of the secondary roof. Unfortunately they never quite lineup which creates a bit of a mess on the corners and the energy model generated from this has a bunch of artifacts on the roof making it, more than likely, unusable.

Peak of main roof goes above secondary roof.Bottom corner where each roof connects is a mess.Top corner of where each roof connects is a mess.Bottom corner of where each roof connects is a messRoof line does not run properly and is offset.Overall view of the roof with problem areas.

is this what you want to achieve?

a way could be by using Roof Shape Editing > Modify Sub Elements, as shown in my screencast:

That's almost correct and i've been able to make that type of roof before with no issues. You need to get rid of that small piece of single-sloped-roof off at the top right of your image.

Once the roof is made into this shape it seems to get extremely difficult to align the roof lines and intersecting corner.

in the method used by you the aligned is made on the underside of the ridge....

Using Shape Editing you are able to align on the upper side..

you can try to drag the ridge vertically - it will work with a tolerance of 0.8 mm , that could be acceptable in practice.

Thank you so very much. That was actually really straightforward and only requiring a few simple steps. After watching your screencast a few times and pausing to go back and fourth between my project everything became clear.

Thank you again for your time.
